Luke Dennehy, The Sunday Herald Sun, reports
David Hasselhoff and Patti Newton formed an unlikely bond on the set of The Celebrity Apprentice.
Hasselhoff told the Sunday Herald Sun he had a huge amount of respect for Newton, and he could relate to her situation regarding the intense scrutiny on son Matthew's problems.
Newton was on set filming The Celebrity Apprentice on the same day her son was in the headlines again after his assault case against a taxi driver was adjourned in court.
"She is like a sponge pincushion," The Hoff said of Newton.
"She has a lot of people trying to stick things into her because of whatever is going on in the press with her family and she's very sensitive about it.
"It's something we've had a long talk about and some things in her family is something I can relate to, and we've bonded in that way."
Newton has been well received on the set of The Celebrity Apprentice and she has won the admiration not only of her fellow contestants, but the crew behind the scenes.
Hasselhoff last week left the show to return to the United States for work commitments.
Speaking on set after one boardroom session, he said he had an amazing time on the show, and was full of praise for many of the contestants, including Melbourne's Jason Akermanis (inset, left).
"He's a great guy, very compassionate," he said.
"Even though he sounds like a big mouth he really isn't. The thing with Aker is that he answers questions, when everyone else walks away he just answers them and says what we are all thinking.
"To me that is a man of real honour -- he's a great guy and probably a long-lasting friend."
Without giving too much away, it looks as if the one celebrity causing some friction is Tania Zaetta.
Let's just say there were fireworks on set during the week when I visited.
